[TGS 2023] Lovecraftian Point-And-Click Adventure Game ‘Candlelight Lament’ Debuts New Demo [Trailer]

After spending nearly two years in Early Access, Vanimals’ zombie survival experience UNDYING will finally be exiting the service, fully launching (you guessed it) next month. Currently available on Steam and Epic Game Store, UNDYING launches in full from Early Access on October 17th, and will also be coming to Nintendo Switch in early 2024, with ports to other platforms to follow.

UNDYING weaves a gripping narrative, immersing players in the heart-wrenching story of Anling and Cody as they survive the relentless tide of the undead. You play as Anling, who has recently been bitten by a zombie. As such, her days are numbered. She must now fight to survive, not for herself but her young son, Cody. You must not only protect Cody, but also search for safety, and teach him survival skills. All the while, Anling must fight her zombie urges, or at the very least minimize their influence over her.

Not only will players have to deal with the undead hordes, but they’ll also have to contend with navigating through toxic fog and survive the elements. Utilizing stealth mechanics, players must stick to the shadows and engage in stealthy takedowns to avoid attracting the attention of the undead. If you must fight, Anling is initially equipped with a dagger, but you can upgrade your arsenal as you progress. Cody can also take an active role in combat, evolving as you face off against the relentless zombie hordes.
